If reports are to be believed, Celtic may be happy to have Daizen Maeda return to the team in the last few weeks of the campaign. According to reports, Brendan Rodgers told supporters that the player has returned to training following an incredible injury comeback.

The Japanese forward last played for the Rangers at Ibrox, when he scored and sustained a hamstring injury in a 3-3 loss. His season was bound to end sooner or later. But according to a rumor that surfaced on social media on Wednesday night, the winger might return to action as early as next week.

If Maeda could play in the Hearts game and the remaining four games, which include two potentially pivotal games against Rangers, before the season ends, that would be a great boost for Celtic.

Supporters shouldn’t be shocked if Maeda recovers from his injuries before he is expected to, as he has an unquestionably exceptional work ethic.

Maeda’s ferocity in the press, which causes defenders a great deal of trouble, makes Celtic a much better team.
